Salvation
Christianity
God, through the sacrifice of His Son, offers salvation and life to anyone who believes in Him. Salvation is a gift of grace not by works.
Christians are people who believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when a person places their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for their sin. Believing in Christ for salvation involves:
FAITH For by grace I am saved through faith.
TRUST Letting go of my self-directed life to Christ's life.
REPENTANCE Changing my mind and life direction.
LORDSHIP Confessing Christ as my savior and lord.
Do you know Jesus?
If you're not 100% sure you know Him as your Lord and Savior, God has provided a simple way for you to change that. Romans 10:13 tells us that "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved". It's really that simple to accept Jesus' free gift of salvation.
Sin separates us from God.
ADMIT that you are a sinner.
"Everyone has sinned. No one measures up to God's glory." - Romans 3:23
Jesus came to earth to pay the wages of our sin.
He literally died in our place so we could have eternal life. BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again for your sins.
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."- Romans 6:23
Accept the gift the Creator has offered you!
CONFESS him as Lord of your life.
"God's grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn't come from anything you do. It is God's gift. It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it."- Ephesians 2:8-9
If you believe all this to be true, then tell Jesus! Talk to Him from your heart.
Sample Prayer
Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and do not deserve this life you've given me. I believe You died and rose from the grave to make a place for me in Heaven. Forgive me for my sins and save me from the life I have known. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. AMEN.
